Pre-Qualification Testing and R & D

 

 

Our capabilities go beyond providing quality synthetic lubricants specially formulated to meet the requirements of your application. We maintain one of the most sophisticated lubrication laboratories in the world - dedicated exclusively to pre-qualification testing of lubricants and lubrication-related research and development.

A full complement of laboratory equipment enables us to define accurately the properties of a lubricant, and to analyze precisely how a lubricant will behave with various structural materials under a broad range of operating conditions. Our equipment includes:

  • Abbe Refractometer
  • Brookfield Rheometers
  • Centrifugal Molecular Still
  • Cleveland Open Cup Flash Tester
  • Constant Shear/Constant Rate Rheometer
  • Corrosion and Oxidation Stability Tester
  • Dielectric Voltage Test Stand
